AA For Professionals/Non-Alcoholics

The brief presentation Let’s Be Friendly with Our Friends and the pamphlet “If You Are a Professional…” give an overview of what A.A. is, what it is not, and how A.A. may cooperate with you to help an alcoholic in your life.

A.A. meetings are places where A.A. members share their experience, strength, and hope. Nonalcoholics are welcome to attend and observe open meetings. You can find more about meetings on the page What to Expect at an A.A. Meeting and you can find local meetings on the Meeting Guide App.

The pamphlet “Is There a Problem Drinker in the Workplace?” and the short A.A. Video for Employment/Human Resource Professionals will give you ideas on how to help the problem drinker in your workplace.

The pamphlet “A.A. as a Resource for the Health Care Professional” and the short A.A. Video for Healthcare Professionals will give you ideas on how to help your alcoholic patient/client.

You can also find out more information in the pamphlet “Faith Leaders Ask About Alcoholics Anonymous”.
